Making Digital transformation real is a tough challenge for most businesses. A successful strategy is to start with a data platform that simplifies data collection, consolidation, protection and preservation which further drives insights, and services at scale. Laura Dubois, Group Vice President of Storage, Servers, and Infrastructure at IDC joins us to discuss why organizations should be prioritizing the data platform as they embark on their digital transformation journey.
In this webinar you will learn about industry trends that are reshaping how IT is used as a strategic asset extracting the value of your data effectively. You will also learn about how Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS) can build on insights to modernize and build cloud native applications accelerating your move to the third platform and beyond.

By 2020 the digital universe – the data we create and manage annually – will reach 44 zettabytes, or 44 trillion gigabytes! Most of that data is unstructured—which is any kind of data that isn’t represented by a formal database structure—in other words, just about everything! Photos, videos, day-to-day documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and device-generated logs and reports are all examples. Many small-to-medium businesses are struggling with managing this deluge of unstructured data; as business needs grow, requirements to handle the data grow and change: like adhering to mandated compliance rules, increasing data protection and resiliency, and tailoring storage requirements to data value in order to improve cost/capacity/performance ratios.

In this webinar, we will explore how Isilon Express adapts to changing business needs to keep costs low while still satisfying users’ and IT needs pertaining to:

• SIMPLICITY of administration and use. Simplicity should be retained as the NAS grows–a fraction of a full-time employee for a petabyte of storage is a good metric.
• FLEXIBILITY of growth. As your installation grows, you need the ability to match storage needs with the value of your data by associating data value with different capacity/performance tiers.
• DATA PROTECTION needs. Your NAS should provide a highly resilient storage environment that supersedes traditional approaches (like RAID). For data backup and recovery, snapshots should be fast and incur low overhead.
• SECURITY REQUIREMENTS. Including Write Once, Read Many (WORM) protection against accidental, premature or malicious alteration or deletion of your data. We’ll also cover compliance rules like the stringent SEC 17a-4 requirements and roles-based Access Zones that create a strict separation between storage administrators and users.

: Data Analytics has matured from BI into a wide variety of use cases leveraging machine learning, Analytics-of-Things, real-time analytics etc. As data volumes and use cases for Splunk and Hadoop evolve, flexibility, ease of deployment, and operational simplicity become key business success criteria. To stay competitive, enterprises need fully integrated platforms that enable them to quick deploy and operationalize analytics while minimizing IT overhead. Join this webinar to find out how the Dell EMC combined data analytics portfolio delivers fully integrated and validated platforms for scalable, agile Splunk and Hadoop deployments.

Today’s storage area networks (SANs) face tremendous pressure from the phenomenal growth of digital information and the need to access it quickly and efficiently. It’s little wonder that storage administrators rank SAN congestion (Slow Drain) issues as their number-one concern. If not addressed in a timely fashion, these can have a domino effect, even degrading the performance of totally unrelated applications. Find out how the Dell EMC Connectrix MDS products have simplified the detection, troubleshooting and automatic recovery from SAN congestion.
